I can confirm. Updated to WP 6.1 this morning – all downloads via this plugin stopped working. Causes a ‘address could not be resolved’ error in the browser. Restoring to WP 6.0 allows downloads to start working again.
Any suggestions for resolving this?
I have managed to work by deactivating the “Pretty URLs” option.
Regards,
The same problem has happened to everyone, it would be great if someone finds a solution to this problem.
As the friend above said, turning off seo links for now works.
If you have wordpress knowledge and find a solution, please share.
Hello,
I have explained it in the 2nd answer.
I have deactivated the “URL Pretty” option.
Cheers,

Need a solution without closing URL Pretty.
Do you have any knowledge about this topic?
I am a user of this plugin.
I was debug code on my PC and I saw that the error occurs only when this option is active.
I can confirm that disabling the ‘Pretty Urls’ option allows downloads to work again.
As this is not ideal, I’ve attempted to debug further, but I cannot determine why the download fails. We reach the da_download_attachment function correctly, and filename and path are determined correctly – however the download fails when the fopen statement is made.
I’ve created an issue on GitHub here – please add comments and suggestions for solution if you are able – however, dFactory appears to have abandoned this plugin 🙁

I had the same problem, thank you for the solution of disabling pretty urls, though I would really like a solutions which works with pretty urls. Dfactory… ?
I don’t know the solution to this but I have noticed attachments with pretty urls still work in Apple Safari on both Mac OS and iOS.

In my site happend “critical error” when I updated server to php 8.1
With php 7.4 it works even with Pretty URLs. WP version is 6.1
I found that only deactivating the “URL Pretty” option do not fix the probem. The really problem is the tag [download-attachments] in the site.
If I delete that tag and unable option Display position “after” it works in php 8.1
The problem is that I have used [download-attachments] in my web-shop in about 100 product-site. Now I have to update about 100 product-site
Unfortunately the plugin is no longer supported for some time.
This plugin has been closed as of January 12, 2023 and is not available for download. Reason: Security Issue.
